Its twin was also worn by Jennifer Lopez that year. Fausto's first collection debuted in 2006 and Italian fashion editor Anna Dello Russo started to wear his pieces everywhere and is largely responsible for bringing his work to the spotlight. His style during this time period has been called Greco Roman glitz which to me is the perfect way to describe pieces like this.
